There was Bayshore Hobbies in the west end. it's gone now. Black Knight Games is a larger store. they Carry the standard mainstream Stuff, as well as Warlord games. they have a pretty big gaming area.
But Hamilton has always had both an unusually large and active Gaming scene. For over 30 years the Military Interests and Gaming Society was a major Focal point of gaming of all kinds. I was based in the middle of Hamilton.
MIGS is a shell of its former self now. but its legacy lives on in many ways. The new Broadsword gaming group plays once a month in the RHLI Armoury and they Run a bi-annual mini-convention. Barnaby has done a great job of Organizing them.
I have considered adding some stuff from Brigade games. Unfortunately that requires money. I don't have any of that right now. I'm currently unemployed. I was thinking about getting a bunch of the Nizam I Cedid and using them as a sort of neo-almoravid empire. of course I'd be sure to paint them as passable Nizam i Cedid for the napoleonic period.
Actually i have been looking at brigade games a lot lately. I also want to build a platoon of USMC Parachute troops for Chain of Command. There are a few raider packs that have the right weapons...
Cheers!
